Footings poured for new civil engineerng exhibit center


During the work week of April 5 to April 9, construction crews poured the footings for the new railroad-civil engineering exhibit center at the Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District.

The City Council approved two resolutions related to the building's construction. The first action approved a change order for the dirt work that was needed as a result of a unmarked sewer tile being broken and the subsequent need to put new fill that will support the 4,000-square-foot building. The second element of the resolution extend the project's completion date to May 31, 2010.
